Contextualization of Teacher-Made Learning Materials Thru School to School Partnership, its Impact in the Performance of Pupils in Mathematics

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

A teacher made resource is a type of instructional material. These include anything that teacher creates, like handouts, worksheets, tests, quizzes, and projects, Many of these are used for assessment in the classroom which is determining the level of learning on any given topic.

METHODS

The descriptive survey method was used in this study, and descriptive means that a survey is made in order to discover how the teacher uses instructional materials and its impact on the performance of pupils and the word survey denotes an investigation of a field to ascertain the typical condition is obtaining. The researcher used questionnaires, observations, interviews, students' class work and other students' outputs for this study. The questionnaires were administered to know the impact of using teacher-made learning materials in teaching Mathematics.

RESULTS

Based on the findings of the study, the majority of the teacher-respondents belong to Teacher III position, between 36-55 age group and between 11-20 years in experience in teaching. Most of them handle more than 30 pupils in their classes. Most of the pupils need to improve their performance in Mathematics.

DISCUSSIONS

The study revealed that the following are impact in the pupils in using instructional materials; pupils are fond of listening if teacher uses colorful and varied instructional materials, they can easily understand certain activities, help the learners to remember the attention of the learners, they can be very useful in supporting the topic, they can clarify the relationship between materials, objects and concepts and abstract concept in Mathematics can be learned by means of concrete teaching aids.
